Its funny because 95% of the time I will shop online via Amazon or Playasia. When I went in that one time to get the DSi I thought that I would get lucky and becaue it was such a big purchase they wouldn't bombard me with extra sales crap. Guess I was wrong. Also went because it was 10 mins away from my house and would save on shipping.
The only other place that literally assaulted me with extra questions was "Suncoast Video". Overpriced DVD store where upon arriving to the checkout the sales clerk would ask you if you want to join the club. Saying no usually would lead to begging and rationalization for why the card would make my life easier. Just sell me the goddamn DVD you punk.
Anyway, the only reason I was upset is because I remember that GS wasn't always this way. I guess a cloud of evil has enveloped them and taken them to the dark-side. Or something, I dunno. I guess times change.
EDIT: And to the above poster, I think you are mistaken. I am in my late 20's and always receive this kind of sales pitch bombardment. I think they will do this to to anyone who has the dough, and not just that demographic you mentioned.
